I can't wait to get started scrap booking. I am just taking some time to see what everything is and what this site has to offer. Since I am not experienced at this, do you have any suggestions as to were to start or what to do first?

Welcome here!
You can go to classes at the top of the page, click on beginner and sign up for free lessons. Also you can check out the gallery for inspiration. The Ladies here are very helpful and friendly! I hope this helps...

Hi Fonzy and welcome. One word..... GALLERY!!!! There are so many great ideas there. And the classes offered her are awesome to. Step by step. The people are wonderful. Good luck! Most importantly have fun and let YOUR creative juices flow!

I'm semi-new to this. I've scrapped before but without any classes or anything. I signed up for the free classes so I can do more than wing it. lol Every product has lots of loaded pics that is very helpful... New products are really inspiring to me as well, sorta gets me in the mood to be crafty. I dunno about you, but sometimes I have to be in the mood to make cards, pages, etc. We're all in it together as newbies!

Welcome to SB.com!! The inspiration is all around! My biggest suggestion is to let the photo inspire you!! Then just run with it! There is no right way or wrong way..just your way!! Disregard what others may think-as you are scrapping for you & yours! Hit the blogs as they are a great place to see detail photos & techniques, plus tons of links for even more inspiration! I find the best layouts are the heartfelt ones! and remember ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!!

Paper packs from fancy pants, bo bunny, and echo park (I'm sure theres others too but those are some of my favorite) come with paper, alphas, and sticker embellishments pretty much all you need to create a layout. A good pair of scissors and album kit is all I started out with!! But now for me a 12 x 12 paper trimmeris a must!!
